Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 It rained today, after a few days of muggy weather. I know its been raining in Goa, Konkan and Mumbai, Pune and the South too... but I just felt like sharing the fact that it rained here today... What a relief... What an immense pleasure... The petrichor, or the smell of freshly moistened earth ( " saundhi mahak " in Hindi/Urdu) that's so enchanting, that I just had to share it with you all :-) Ravin '82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Keep in touch with the Mother Earth. You poor guys of big cities. Me in a small town, only earth and earthy smell all around.When it rains, it pours, when it doesn't, it burns. But well said, lovely to welcome a shower after a sweat.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 That is really nice.......living in the desert.........that " s just a beautiful dream or while watering the plants......what i play around reminding myself of far away places where it rains.........I mean really rains...... It has been a while.....last year I was lucky since it really rained cats and dogs or should I say camels in Abu dhabi.........and my husband being a sweet guy that he is made us all bunk our work and went chasing behind rains.........it was awesome to see the sky suddenly so blue and grey and the shades of rains......... Its something wonderful to sit in a car and watch the rain drops disappear in the sands of time...........its so mesmerising and enchanting to watch the rain make patterns on the desert canvas .......... Drink a warm Adrak ki Chai.........and get wet coz this feeling is not going to come again for another eternity............ Which is why........ my only dream come true is the patch of my small terrace garden where i splash water and make it rain...........since our summer has just started and will not fade till its November............ So my dear friends with a heavy sigh...........do enjoy a bit of rain for me too and may be taste a drop of rain and miss me too......just as I tell my mom who is enjoying rains in Pune sitting in her Zhoola ( swing) and tasting Garam Chai........... This is the time when I feel like running away and drenching myself in rain just for a day...............but its just my thoughts that can run wild.......... regards aasawari91 Dreaming of the day when she will see rains................and the parched heart will just soak it all up in........... ________________________________ To: mgims Sent: Sunday, 10 June 2012 5:24 PM Subject: Petrichor  It rained today, after a few days of muggy weather.
